-## Approved portfolio revamp specifications
-
-The live application above remains the current implementation. The approved redesign is specified in [Portfolio revamp
-spec set](docs/specs/active/portfolio-revamp/README.md), with seven ordered specifications, [implementation plan and
-installed skill register](docs/specs/active/portfolio-revamp/IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md), and a [durable prototype
-reference](docs/specs/reference/portfolio-revamp/README.md). Performance/security gates are planned, not achieved
-production results. This spec-writing change does not deploy the redesign.
